Follow these procedures to operate the air conditioner on shore
power:
1. Make sure the air conditioner breaker in the cabin is off.
2. Plug AC shore power cord into the receptacle on the boat, and
turn clockwise to lock. Thread the locking ring on the inlet to
secure the cord. Connecting the cord to the boat first will pre-
vent dropping a “hot” cord into the water.
3. Make sure dockside power is off. Then, plug in the cord. Turn
the dockside shore breaker on.
4. Immediately check the polarity light on the main cabin panel. If
the reversed polarity light on the main panel illuminates, do not
turn on the cabin main breaker. Turn off the dockside shore
power breaker and disconnect the power cord. Inform marina
manager of the problem.
5. Make sure the sea water inlet seacock is open and strainer is
free of debris.
6. Make sure the sump pump is on when you operate the air con-
ditioner. Condensate from the air conditioner drains to the
sump pump.
7. Make sure 120 or 220 volt AC switch for air conditioner is on.
8. Set temperature on display. Select either heating or cooling.
9. Turn selector switch to ON. Fan, water pump, and compressor
will start.
10. Look over side of boat and check for water flowing from dis-
charge port. If water is not flowing, stop air conditioner. Check
for the following: blocked water intake, air in line, clogged sea
strainer, or closed seacock that should be open. Correct the
problem before restarting the air conditioner.
Note: On some Robalo models, there is an optional 12V air
conditioner. Power supplied to the optional 12V air conditioner
comes from two additional batteries located in the engine com-
partment. These batteries are recharged when docked and
connected to shore power with the battery charger breaker on.
Batteries are also recharged by the engine alternator when the
boat is underway.
Note: The manufacturer’s operation manual covers detailed
information for operating the air conditioner including tempera-
ture setting, display and calibration, and fan speed and
calibration. Also provided are technical data and troubleshoot-
ing information to help you keep the unit in safe and proper
operating condition.
TRANSOM SHOWER
Nothing is more luxurious than being able to rinse yourself off with
fresh water after swimming or water skiing in salt water. An optional
or standard transom shower, depending on model, is located at the
transom and has pressurized water. Most showers have a push but-
ton shower head. Pressure water switch is located at helm.
SUMP PUMP
If your boat is equipped with a sump pump, all your drained water
from the air conditioner condensation pan, head floor drains, and
some sinks will go to the sump unit to be drained overboard. A float
unit located in the sump tank will be activated as the water level
raises, which will turn on the pump to discharge the water over-
board. Failure to have the sump unit on will cause the sump to
overflow into the bilge compartment.
FIRE EXTINGUISHERS
As the boat owner, you are responsible for making sure you have
the required number of fire extinguishers. Fire extinguishers must
be approved by the U.S. Coast Guard.
